Dear Future Reader,

My name is Fletcher C and I am a Year Six student at Glenbrook PS NSW.
I am coming to you from 2020 to tell you about the COVID-19 Pandemic and what it was like.

Let's start by where this dreadful disease came from. COVID-19 or coronavirus originated from lizards and bats that live in parts of Asia. Now people did not get this virus by touching these lizards but by eating them. As people started to get the coronavirus, people started to move around the world by plane or boat not knowing how dangerous it was. As these people moved around to different countries they spread the disease and that is how the coronavirus spread.

Now coronavirus brought about many problems and some weird and annoying precautions. Most schools were shut down but we still had to learn from home and believe it or not it was worse than real school. A weird thing was that people raided the stores of toilet paper. Coronavirus created many annoying safety rules including you can’t go eat out, you can’t go to the shops, you can’t see friends, lots of people lost their jobs because only essential workers like police, paramedics and builders kept their job, and worst of all you can’t go to the playground. But it was because people were dying from Coronavirus and getting very sick. Coronavirus made life very hard, difficult, and annoying. But on the 15th of May restrictions started being lifted like, returning to school.

Now the world is recovering and things are returning to normal, but very slowly. It just goes to show how important it is to wash your hands and keep clean. But for now I’m just happy to be back at school.
